Crown's 1/2" Captive Ring Tool in the Cryo treated version. Captive rings are one of the truly "neat tricks" in turning. You'll have the uninitiated wondering how you did it. Nice for adding a bit of whimsy or visual interest to pieces. The 6" long blade on this version from Crown is double beveled, making it possible to cut both the right and left hand sides of the ring with the same tool. The 3/8" size refers to the bead diameter of the tool tip. Stained black ash handle is approximately 10" long, and the tool has an overall length of approximately 16-1/2". England About Crown Cryogenic Tools Years ago tool makers discovered the enormous benefits of cryogenically (super-cold) treated tool cutters, especially plane blades. Now this technology has been applied to select Crown Turning Tools to bring a giant leap in turning tool performance. Cryo treating cutting tools alters the crystalline molecular form of key ingredients in the metal. This altered structure helps the metal achieve a vast improvement in wear resistance for longer life and longer edge retention, and a superior feel in use.
